“I am grateful to the people who donated to my bond fund,” Abel Cedeno, 18, said in a statement handed out to the media, which he said would be his last public comments on the case.

“Specifically, I thank the many gay men who generously donated,” he wrote. “I’m grateful for the support of my family.”

Cedeno was previously held in lieu of $500,000 bond after his indictment on manslaughter charges for the September attack, which left schoolmate Matthew McCree dead in a history class at the Urban Assembly School for Wildlife Conservation.

The teen, who remains suspended from school, will also be subject to tracking and curfews as a condition of his bond.
